   Noisy. Good food. Slightly slower service compared to the San Jose one.

   Great experience at Il Fornaio Santa Clara. The food was very good and service was excellent. We got seated and served right away. The ambiance was good - nice decor and lighting. One thing to note, the parking at this plaza is insanely difficult so make sure you have ample time to find a spot.

   The food was great and so was the service! Thank you Angelo for being a great waiter! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. I'm very glad we decided to have our holiday dinner at II Fornaio.

   We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Il Fornaio. We appreciated that they had both Thanksgiving and regular options, and that the Thanksgiving feast could be prix fixe or a la carte. The food was great, but wasn't hot as we would have liked. Everything else was delicious. My friend said the ham was a little dry. Great cocktails and wine list. Our server Candy was outstanding. Very friendly and responsive. She was delightful. Nice interior, and the noise level was comfortable and had a very convivial buzz. We were really glad we chose Il Fornaio for Thanksgiving.

   Well, we do enjoy going to Il Fornaio for Thanksgiving each year, the food, while tasty, is usually served lukewarm (every year). Service was spotty this year. I talk to them being busy, however, we got our soup before we even got our drinks. Refills and bread that we had to request and came late or didn’t come at all.

    Yuli was our server. She was so attentive and gracious. We came for Thanksgiving dinner. The place was packed but she made sure we had everything we asked for. Such a lovely evening. We will be coming back!
